Those teams are Notre Dame (9-0, 8-0 ACC), Clemson (8-1, 7-1 ACC) and Miami (7-1, 6-1 ACC). “Based on the current standings and results to date, Notre Dame holds all tiebreakers and has therefore secured a berth in the ACC football championship game,” the statement read....

Acetabular fractures either occur with high-energy trauma (e....

Afterward, activists put up their own barriers. “The City’s three guiding principles for the reconnection of 38th and Chicago have been community safety, racial healing and economic stability and development for Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian and other communities of color,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and two city council members said last week in a statement about the intersection....

The Missouri lawmaker reacted angrily to members of the group ShutDownDC appearing outside his residence on Monday to oppose Hawley’s plan on Wednesday to challenge the congressional certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory. “Tonight we dropped in at the home of @HawleyMO to encourage him to end his attack on democracy. Let’s be clear, Hawley and his pals are doing real and serious damage to our democracy. And they’re emboldening thugs like the #ProudBoys,” the group tweeted....

From Shadow and Act: The idea isn’t as crazy as it seems. Several women have played men convincingly onscreen. Remember when Cate Blanchett earned an Academy Award nomination for playing Bob Dylan in I’m Not There? So will Patton ever get the chance to play Woods? We’ll have to wait and see. 

In a 2010 personal essay for Insider, he admitted that he doesn’t like people knowing about his personal life. “Much as one may wish for privacy, in the 21st century it just doesn’t exist,” he said, adding how important his children are. “Almost all of my non-work waking hours are spent with my boys, and they are the love of my life.” Here’s what we know about Elon Musk’s eight children....

The Taliban, an extremist militant group, has rapidly regained control of vast swaths of Afghanistan as the U.S. and Western allies have withdrawn their forces from the country. While the agreement leading to the withdrawal was signed under former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden has pushed forward with bringing home U.S. troops from the country and bringing an end to America’s longest war. “I want to share with you a story from a 2011 trip to Afghanistan that perfectly encapsulates why our mission there was flawed by design and why, despite the heroism of our soldiers, it’s time to leave,” Murphy, who was serving in the House of Representatives in 2011, tweeted on Friday....

Advances in brain science have given us a new understanding of addiction and its neurological basis. They have made possible a spectrum of anti-drug drugs. The latest of these, now in development, are vaccines that may be able not just to treat addiction but to prevent it as well.
